Not sure at the moment. I'm needing two new front tyres before summer. I'm wondering whether to try semi slicks. Something like Michelin Cup 2 or those R888 things or whatever they called.
Wheel refurb has stalled, no one seems to want to do a custom colour at the moment.
I've just hit 67,000 miles... so wonder if timing chain and tensioner should be on the list.
I'm also divided whether to get the Recaro's as the R seats are just so nice!
Cheers. It's actually already in ,but it was too dark to do any pics
. As another bonus, you can change the button colour, so of course they are now blue.Spent most of my time moving and chasing insurance companies after SL2 got fire bombed.
Only thing it doesn't do is integrate with the front and rear parking sensors... but they still beep before I hit summat.
Well that sounds like a nightmare for SL2. I keep looking at the meet sections as I’d be keen to meet up again.. although given my car is now French I may not make it.
Either way I’m happy that you’ve still got the Cupra R.. I did wonder if it had gone.

Cheers. Oooo, yeah, I like what you've done with it!! Nice touch with the badge and Cupra lettering! Might steal that idea.
Unfortunately it was, because the insurance had only just started, they took their full years premium - and as it was my 20 year old sons insurance, it completely wiped the value of the car.
I believe @Jimbobcook is looking into meets at the moment. As far as I can tell, all restrictions seem to be gone now fingers crossed for good.
Yeah, I'm just glad SL1 wasn't parked there that night.
I thought it was brilliant idea, I've done the cupra r exhaust conversion now finally and looks quite aggressive with the huge 4 inch tipsCheers. Oooo, yeah, I like what you've done with it!! Nice touch with the badge and Cupra lettering! Might steal that idea.

Clutch is holding pretty well. Feels exactly like stock (not like the Helix that feels like a leg press machine). What clutch you using?
The engine mounts on the other hand are another story... the engine mount bracket failed (and folded) causing the engine to sag on one side, pushed the cambelt cover into the cambelt and damaged the belt and waterpump.
I'm still stock clutch but wanted something that can hold power and not be heavy or snappy so might go for your setup, who sourced and fitted it all for you? And that's bad news mate about the engine mounts
Yeah, I sold it. Was a hard decision, so I had to rip the band aid off and just let it go quick. Shame really as it had Pilot Sports 4Ss less than 6 months old and a top of the range Pioneer head unit I fitted in December. Hopefully someone will get to enjoy them.
